National Vice Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has sent a strong warning to President Nana Akufo-Addo not to orchestrate a plot to remove EC Boss, Charlotte Osei, from office.
Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Kokrokoo on Peace FM, Mr. Ofosu Ampofo expressed suspicions of President Akufo-Addo and his government's attempt to manipulate the probe into the corruption and abuse of power allegations against Mrs. Charlotte Osei and her two deputies, Amadu Sulley and Georgina Amankwa.
According to him, it has always been a plan by the governing New Patriotic Party to get rid of the EC Boss since she was appointed by Ex-President John Dramani Mahama.
He recounted machinations by some NPP stalwarts who doubted the competence of Mrs. Charlotte Osei and to him; the President is allegedly in cahoots with those party members to ensure that the EC Boss definitely vacates her office.
“For the first time, people wanted to throw the supreme law of the land – the constitution - aside because of some parochial interest . . . She’s one of the most vilified public officers ever seen in this country in recent times but I doff my hat for her that she stood very tall in all this and did her work effectively. As we say the end justifies the means, she’s been able to work for a successful election”, Mr. Ofosu Ampofo stated on Peace FM.
He was therefore certain that the petition to impeach the EC Boss is a "political agenda" on the government's table.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that what is happening now is more political than anything. And I want to caution President Nana Akufo-Addo to be very very careful because running a nation is not like leading NPP . . . My caution is that the Chief Justice, the Presidency must be careful the way they handle this matter.
“ . . I am cautioning the President because this matter is political and I want to say it’s political. And there is lack of transparency in the way this is being handled and it is being handled to achieve a certain end. We’re also in politics. We know the sort of conspiracies that are going round. And I’m cautioning that they must be very very careful because some people are alleged to have even met and decided the outcome of this matter before the matter even goes there . . . Let us be careful that we do not politically manipulate this to achieve some certain ends . . . ”

this man used to be the only man i respect so much in ndc, he use to be very gentle man, but being in opposition had corrupted his memory, what a fo...lish talk, for his information, no npp man is behind this impeachment processes, she and her two deputies are impeaching themselves, this is a punishment from God, this woman came to ec with intention of rigging elections for mahama, and God being so great it didn't work for her, "the battle is still the lords"
NANA MUST GO
i can think far. i think ofosu ampofo is a christian? more so an elder of a Pentecostal church. Christianity stand for truth, righteousness and faithfulness.please ofosu ampofo let us be the light of world. every thing under the earth is politics. but let us seek the kingdom of god and its righteousness and all things shall be added on to us and stop this earthly propaganda.
disgrace to the Church of Pentecost, how can an elder of such reputable church speak like a common sharp teeth ndc serial caller, at times I think he need Dr. Osei at the Mental Hospital for observation, period, he should give a break, is Charlotte Osei an ndc person, we ask?
Is Mrs. Osei ( the EC boss) an NDC member? just asking ooo
ofosu ampofo can resist the outcome of the process,if only he can return all the monies that was paid into his accounts as a teacher,when he knew he was no longer a teacher. but was fraudulently redrawing those monies from his accounts with an ATM CARD spanning over ten years.if in case i become President of Ghana for a month,people like YOU would be used as an example for others to learn.you have the nerve to talk ***barred word*** because this country hails thiefs as leaders.
One will want to know from Ofosu Ampofo whether it was the President/Government who orchestrated those allegations against the EC Boss. Is he pretending he did not hear what his deputies raising allegations of malfeasance against their Boss?
A load of tosh. Why are some people so averse to responsibility? The woman and her deputies are all in the dock. Why is she so sacrosanct that her deputies can be impeached but not her? Is she Jesus's mother? We are building strong institutions and those who seek to use institutions as their personal fiefdoms will be rooted out.
and they have paid g00ns who go about doing the dirty work for them, look at their comments ... try removing her and see!!!
We expect people like Mr. Ampofo to respect our judicial system and give it the benefit of doubt. Nana is not handling the case as claimed by Mr. Ampofo. The presidency upholds rule of law. This is not the time to engage in petty politics;it's again another golden opportunity to test the integrity of our judicial system.
